you can't change the update setting because Microsoft won't let you.
and it seems working very great. plus its free for win 7 and win 8 users.
It makes sense for Microsoft to lock down Windows Update access in this version of Windows 10. Remember, this is beta software, even though they are calling it a preview. It makes sense for them to remove user's ability to disable Windows Update because they need to ensure that every user who submits a bug report is running the latest update.

Be interesting to see if they lock it down in the same way on the actual release version. There are legitimate reasons people would want to block Windows Updates. Large scale enterprise deployments, for instance. If you are deploying software to tens of thousands of PCs, you want to stop user access to it until you've tested it as thoroughly as you can, to ensure it doesn't break something that is critical to the enterprise.
